Conodonts have been recovered in samples from two stratigraphic units in Irian Jaya: the Modio Dolomite in the Charles Louis Range, and probably the Aimau Formation in the central Birds Head. The Modio Dolomite fauna includes Panderodus cf. P. simplex (Branson and Mehl, 1933), and probably has a Silurian age. Two float samples considered to have been derived from the Aimau Formation yielded a fauna comprising Neognalhodus cf. N. bassleri (Harris and Hollingsworth , 1933) and Hindeodus minutus (Ellison, 1941), which indicate a Late Carboniferous age.
